They sat there, in silence, neither of them pulling away from the kiss. It was peaceful; the evening sun shining down into the living room, the pleasant aura being spread around the room. Nonon broke the kiss and realized she had grabbed a hold of Ryuko's collar. She immediately let go and a crimson blush spread across her cheeks. Nonon would have instantly gotten up and ran to her room, but she was frozen, staring at the woman in front of her. Eventually, the petite pinkette broke the silence.
"S-Sorry. I d-don't know…" Trailing off her sentence, Nonon began to tear up as well. Ryuko grabbed her chin, startling the smaller woman. However, she did nothing about it. Ryuko pulled her in for another kiss, making Nonon's eyes go wider than before. After a few seconds, she closed her eyes and put some effort of her own into it. Again, they sat there in silence, another kiss overtaking them. This time, Ryuko broke it and spoke afterward.
"No need to apologize, I feel the same way." They smiled at each other. Staring deep into each other's eyes, they began to lean in for another kiss when Ryuko's phone rang, making them jump a little. "Oh my God, Satsuki." They looked at each other, biting their lips, realizing that Ryuko indeed had a girlfriend she may have very well just cheated on. Ryuko reached over for her phone, and accepted the call.
"Hey Satsuki, what's up?" As Ryuko began talking to her, Nonon grabbed a pillow and tried to hide her face in it. She kept her eyes uncovered to look at Ryuko. "Yeah, Nonon and I are having a great time, actually." Ryuko looked at Nonon when she said this, both of them blushing a little. "Yeah, I know it's weird. Yeah, okay. See ya, Satsuki." Ryuko looked away from Nonon and with a blush, finished her call. "Love you, too" Satsuki hung up and Ryuko slid her phone across the coffee table in front of her. Nonon started speaking, which caused Ryuko to look at her.
"We can't tell Satsuki. Period." Ryuko was surprised. If anyone was the most honest with Satsuki, it was Nonon. The pinkette blushed as she leaned in to hug Ryuko. The latter was surprised, but hugged her back. Were they now more than friends? How much so? These were Ryuko's thoughts as she drifted to sleep. It was far too comfy to not feel tired in this situation.
Ryuko woke up the next morning with a slight headache. By the looks of things, it was very early in the morning, pitch black. Nonon was nowhere in sight, however, Ryuko could hear noises coming from the kitchen. She got up and went to investigate. Just as she suspected, Nonon was cooking. And sucking at it all the while.
"Whatcha making?" Nonon was startled and swiftly turned on her heel, to see Ryuko standing there. She growled a little as she softly punched her in the arm.
"I'm making breakfast. It may be early but I'm hungry as fuck." Ryuko looked at the clock in the kitchen. Three twenty!? She really did go to bed early, and slept a long time as a matter of fact. Ryuko looked into the pan on the stove, and was greeted with a decent sight of pancakes. However she didn't forget Nonon didn't have any food.
"How in the hell did you make this, exactly?" Ryuko looked around for some type of answer before Nonon spoke.
"I found an old box of pancake mix, but don't worry, I've heard they can stay good for about a year." Ryuko raised an eyebrow and a corner of her mouth moved upwards as well. Damn she really doesn't eat at home. Nonon looked back and noticed the look Ryuko was giving her. "D-Don't give me that look! You're the one who didn't want to go out." Ryuko sighed and leaned on the counter behind Nonon.
"Yeah, I didn't know you had exactly zero food." Ryuko snorted as she thought of a bad joke. "You know that's probably why you don't play video games, you'd die from starvation." Nonon turned around instantly with her hands on her hips, looking up to meet her gaze.
"Oh yeah, what's that supposed to mean, transfer?" Here we go again… "For your information I've never needed to learn how to cook. When you have money people will do things for you. And on top of that-" she was cut off by Ryuko leaning in. Nonon became flustered and turned her head so she wouldn't have to look her in the eyes. "W-What are you doing, getting so close to me? You're dating Satsuki. You shouldn… Sh-shouldn…" Cute. Ryuko grinned and grabbed Nonon's chin.
"You know, I'm really disappointed I didn't date you instead of Satsuki." Nonon's face turned an even darker shade of crimson and her arms flailed trying to get Ryuko away.
"A-Anyway! Go get some plates or something and make yourself useful, transfer." Ryuko just smiled and listened, not saying a word.
Ryuko had gotten plates and utensils, and was currently waiting for Nonon. She pulled out her phone, checking in case Satsuki had sent her any messages. Luckily, there were none, although at three in the morning she wasn't really expecting any. The pinkette walked out of the kitchen with a plate, which were presumably the pancakes she had made. Nonon bore a nervous grin as she delivered the cakey discs. It was obvious why, she wasn't the best cook after all. There were a few burnt pieces, but nothing Ryuko couldn't handle. She took a couple and started eating.
"W-What do you think?" Nonon stood there like a maid getting judged by her master. Ryuko responded with a smile.
"They're good. Maybe a little burnt but that's fine." Nonon smiled and sat across from her. For a lavish apartment, they sure had a small table. They ate in silence, the events of the day before were drilled into their heads.
"Hey." Ryuko's voice made Nonon jump in her chair.
"Y-Yes?" Ryuko blushed a little.
"Well, I was wondering if you were thinking the same thing I was." Nonon smiled.
"Yeah, I can't get it out of my head." Nonon noticed Ryuko was staring down at her lap, where her hands were as well.
"Listen, I really like you, and I guess my feelings awakened with the kiss." They both blushed, Ryuko sighed, then continued. "But I don't want to break up with Satsuki, I still love her." Nonon didn't know whether she should frown or smile. She decided to go with the latter.
"Well, we can figure things out along the way. I'm sure eventually we can tell her. We just need some time to figure things out." Ryuko looked up at the cute pink haired girl in front of her. Ryuko laughed.
"Look at you being all Miss Relationship. Did you have this planned?" Nonon laughed nervously.
"I've had a while to think about this. I've gone through a few scenarios." They shared what Ryuko considered one of the most heartwarming smiles she'd ever seen.
Satsuki looked around the Airport, in search for her beloved girlfriend and the girl she stayed with for a weekend. After looking for a few seconds, the undeniable bright pink hair of Nonon came into view. With a smile, Satsuki made her way down to the shorter woman. Ryuko stood next to her. She said something to Nonon, she nodded and they walked over to meet Satsuki. The three of them started up a conversation on their way out.
"So what did you guys end up doing all weekend?" It was an obvious first question, and Ryuko had prepared herself for it.
"Oh nothing much. Hung out mostly." Satsuki smiled. It may not have been very interesting, but it was certainly an improvement on their constant bickering. They were almost out of the airport when Satsuki said she had to go to the bathroom before they left.
She turned around before entering, and swore she saw Ryuko whisper something into Nonon's ear. Huh. Maybe they're better friends than I thought. Meanwhile, Nonon started hitting Ryuko, not too hard though.
"You idiot! What if she saw you?"
"Oh calm down. I just wanted to kiss my girlfriend." Nonon blushed and hit her again.
"I. Am. Not. Your. Girlfriend! That woman who just went into the bathroom is. You're treating this less serious than it is. Do you know what Sat-" She was cut off by yet another kiss. This time, she kissed back. They held the pose for a minute before realizing where they were, and that it wasn't exactly a good idea. Satsuki exited soon after and met up with them. As they were walking out, Satsuki heard Ryuko say something to Nonon, which resulted in her getting punched. With a smile, Satsuki thought to herself. Wow. They really bonded over something. I'll have to ask what exactly happened.
Ryuko had been going out with Nonon for about a month now, unbeknownst to Satsuki. She was amazed they had become such good friends. On more than one occasion she thought they could be more than that, but dismissed the thought to unnecessary paranoia. That was, until one fateful day.
Ryuko was going out with Nonon again, which Satsuki would usually think nothing of. However, while talking to Houka, he started to talk about Nonon and Ryuko, and how they were too close to each other. Then acted as if he never said it in the first place. Even to the point where he swore on his life he didn't say it. Nothing gets passed Satsuki, that's for damn sure.
Ryuko was walking down the bustling streets of Tokyo, Nonon in hand. They were wearing their more casual clothes, which were quite baggy for the both of them. Nonon smiled and constantly looked at her girlfriend's hand, fingers interlaced with her own. They were happy together, and Ryuko was happy with Satsuki. It couldn't be better. They walked into a couple's cafe for lunch, at sat at a window seat near the entrance. They ordered their meals then sat there looking into each other's eyes.
"Ryuko, I've had so much fun with you over these last few weeks. I'm so happy Satsuki made us hang out, or I would have never released my pent up feelings." Ryuko was never good with confessions, so she blushed a bright red before saying anything.
"It's not like you to say something like that. But I'm glad too."
"It's thanks to you, Ryuko. I've changed because of you. I think I've changed for the better." Ryuko smiled as Nonon reached over the table for her girlfriend's hands. "Ever since I saw you, I knew that what I felt before for Satsuki wasn't that kind of love, which is what I feel for you now." Ryuko blushed; she knew what was coming next. The cafe's door sensor let off its distinct ring to indicate someone had entered the building. The two lovebirds didn't pay any attention. "Ryuko. I… I love y-" Nonon was cut off by an irritating, screeching sound made by a chair being drug across the floor. At first they didn't mind it, but when the chair pulled up to their table, and a familiar face sat down in it, the two of them became a lot more aware of their situation.
"Matoi. Jakuzure." They knew who it was, and reluctantly turned their heads toward Satsuki. They sat in silence for a moment, before Satsuki broke it. "What are you two doing in a couple's cafe?" Nonon was frozen in shock, while Ryuko tried to defuse the situation.
"Is it a couple's cafe? I hadn't even noti-" Satsuki glared hard before practically yelling.
"Cut the shit, Matoi! You know damn well what this place is." Unknown to the cheaters, Satsuki was trying her best to keep herself from crying. Nonon tried to hide her head, some people were starting to stare. "How long?" Ryuko turned her gaze to the side, unable to look Satsuki in the eyes. There was a long silence before Ryuko spoke.
"About… about a month. Ever since you made us get together." God damn it… Satsuki knew it. She didn't know why she bothered with asking.
"It's over, Matoi." Nonon winced, holding back tears and burying her face further away from Satsuki. The taller woman got up and left, leaving a heartbroken Ryuko and Nonon at the table. Ryuko was about to cry, but decided to suck it up. She stood from her chair and went to go after Satsuki.
"W-Wait, Ryuko! Where are you going?" Nonon looked up, a slightly tear stained face peering at Ryuko.
"I'm going to get Satsuki."
The city was difficult to navigate, especially during a day off. Ryuko pushed past many people on her way to Satsuki, who saw Ryuko was following her and tried to lose her in a nearby park. That had rather the opposite effect, with Ryuko pulling on the wrist of the older woman.
"God dammit Ryuko! Let me go!" Ryuko tried to contain Satsuki, while she tried to escape from Ryuko.
"No! You have to listen to me!" After a while of struggling, Satsuki cooled down and Ryuko let her hands go. The white clad woman hung her head
"Did you ever love me?" Ryuko took a step back, shocked.
"W-What?" Satsuki immediately raised her head, tears streaming down her face.
"I said, did you love me? God dammit!" Satsuki was now yelling, but nobody was close enough to hear her.
"Yes! I still do!" Satsuki gritted her teeth.
"Then why are you going out with her?" Tears began to well up in Ryuko's eyes.
"Be-Because I love her too." There was a moment of silence.
"You lied to me, Ryuko. You said you guys were just friends. That nothing happened. That I was your one and only. That I would be yours and you would be mine." Ryuko was taken aback by Satsuki's words. She… s
She really remembers all those years ago? "Please, Ryuko. Stay away from me. I don't want to get hurt any more." Satsuki walked away, but this time, Ryuko didn't chase after her. Instead, she limped in the opposite direction, toward the cafe she had left Nonon in.
Due to her slow speed, it was a while until Ryuko had reached the cafe. Nonon was still inside, fiddling with her phone. The table had a lonesome sandwich across from Nonon. The pinkette noticed when Ryuko sat down in her original spot, and put away her phone.
"So…" That was all Nonon had no say.
"It's over. She doesn't want to see me ever again." Nonon frowned.
"I'm sorry, Ryuko."
"No, it's my fault. If I hadn-" Ryuko was cut off with a deep kiss from the girl opposite. She was surprised but returned it nonetheless. They broke apart a few moments later. "What was that?"
"That was for being stupid. It's both our fault. We're in this together. After all, you're stuck with me now." Ryuko snorted.
"Well if that's the case I think I'd be better off with Satsuki." Nonon laughed and punched Ryuko on the arm.
"You're an ass, transfer." Nonon smiled again, and this time Ryuko considered it the most heartwarming smile a person could give. "And yet despite that, I still love you." Ryuko smiled.
"I love you, too." Perhaps this wouldn't be so bad. It's nice to have a change of pace every once in a while.
Sorry for the shorter chapter, I've moved on from KLK for the most part, and lost quite a bit of motivation. I had originally intended this chapter to be many more chapters, but that's what I get for planning stupidly. Anyway, I should be getting my new computer very, very, soon. So while there may not be any more KLK fanfics, there will almost certainly be some more anime fics I'll be willing to write. After all, Kyousuke has a few girls to choose from, doesn't he? Thanks for reading, and I hoped you enjoyed.
